Breaking news: Golden Boy cancel Khan IBF appeal

markj3k wrote:Peterson won fair and square IMO and the original decision should hold. Khan was pushing a lot and the referee was right to dock the points after repeated warnings were given.

Khan, rather than look at his own shortcomings is blaming everyone else. He's proved to be a very poor sportsman. The more he talks the more foolish he looks.

In contrast, Peterson has behaved admirably throughout this whole fiasco and has probably gained a lot of new fans as a result. I'm certainly one of them!

Yet as this guy is sort of an "official" with the IBF they decide not to. There must be enough of a smell here if the WBA are insisting on the rematch.

Besides, Petersen won't rematch Khan now I don't think and will carry on with the IBF.

Imperial Ghosty wrote:A few things to highlight

1. Khan and GBP should not be appealing the decision in any shape of form, there was no robbery.

2. I think there should be a rematch for two reasons, the closeness of the fight and the deductions being such a significant factor.

3. The deductions despite being to the letter of the rulebook were harsh and personally don't think they should have happened.

4. It is about time we had some consistency in refereeing, all well and good saying 'play the referee' but there can be such a difference in the way fights are officiated it's a tad silly.

5. Khan wins a rematch fairly comfortably.

Rounds 1 and 2 Peterson was still trying to fight on the inside - those fights gave Khan a +3 margin. The rest of the fight was majority Peterson.

There's enough evidence to say that if Peterson applies the pressure again - Khan could crack again. There's also enough to say that Khan dropped a ball and will pick things up next time around - but I don't think its a dead certainty, by any means.

Alas, Az, I've thought this since I saw the fight again over Christmas. 'Fraid I can't give you much credit. Was impressed by Peterson's switch-up halfway through.
